describes a kind of music that has miraculously branched into a subculture of people. an 'emo' kid has a lot of product in their hair, bracelets, jeans that are far too tight, a studded belt and an xs t-shirt featuring a band with a lot of eyeliner. they cut themselves and write bad lyrics with the blood. these people are so horrible, they get broken up with on a daily basis. fortunately this fuels their entire paradigm.

an 'emo' kid has long bangs.
this is to shield them from a cruel judgmental world that will never understand.
